Meschiari Stefano has developed a wonderful configuration package for U9 that should have been released with the game itself! Power Tools consists of three programs: Game Options & Tweaks, Keymap Editor, and the UIX Starter.

The Game Options & Tweaks program replaces the harware options program that comes with the game and allows you to tweak every aspect of the game's configuration, including those options that previously had to be edited by hand in OPTIONS.INI. The UIX Keymap Editor allows you to very quickly and easily remap the game's internal keys. Lastly, the UIX Starter reboots your computer and starts U9 without starting Explorer, reducing most of the Windows overhead.

Plot your course through U2's tower mazes.

It's a nifty tool that produces top-down maps of U2's towers and dungeons in BMP format. This should make those long trips to getting that extra burst of Tri-Lithium much shorter.
